Frequently asked — Mbam

What is All Frontier Global Nexus?
All Frontier Global Nexus (AJG) is a commission-only trade brokerage representing both buyer and seller principals simultaneously. We do not charge retainers, consulting fees, or upfront costs. Our fee is a commission paid only when a trade transaction is completed. We operate across 50 verticals, 185 countries, 273 FTAs, and 36 bilateral corridors.
What does commission-only mean?
Commission-only means AJG earns no fee unless a trade transaction is successfully concluded. There are no retainers, no monthly fees, no upfront payments. When a mandated trade deal closes, both the buyer principal and the seller principal each pay a negotiated commission to AJG. If the deal does not close, AJG earns nothing.
What does 'both principals' mean?
AJG represents both the exporter (seller principal) and the importer (buyer principal) simultaneously. Unlike traditional brokers who represent only one side, AJG' commission-only model means our interest is aligned with completing the transaction — which benefits both parties. Full disclosure is maintained with both principals at all times.
Who are the AJG principals?
AJG has two founding principals: Vinod Kumar Jain (India Principal) based in Panchkula, Haryana — with 50+ years of experience in pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and import-export; and Amit Jain (EU Principal) based in Porto, Portugal — a digital generalist holding a D2 Entrepreneur Visa and a PGDip in Global Marketing. Together they cover India-EU, India-UAE, and global trade corridors.
What verticals does AJG cover?
AJG covers 50 trade verticals including pharmaceuticals, engineering goods, textiles, chemicals, agro-food, gems & jewellery, IT & recruitment, technology, automotive components, shipping & logistics, iron & steel, real estate, medical devices, biotech, agritech, green energy, water & environment, digital health, oil & gas, financial services, food processing, luxury goods, creative media, education & training, legal & professional services, ESG consulting, construction materials, plastics & rubber, ceramics, furniture, sports & recreation, beauty & wellness, packaging, printing, scientific instruments, marine & offshore, aviation, cold chain logistics, renewables equipment, smart cities, agro-chemicals, technical textiles, medical tourism, franchise & retail, Amazon e-commerce, D2C branding, trade finance services, HR & executive search, and carbon credits.
How does AJG make money if it charges no upfront fees?
AJG earns commission only on completed trades. The commission rate is negotiated with each principal at mandate acceptance. Typical commission ranges: 1-3% on high-volume commodity trades, 2-5% on manufactured goods, 5-10% on high-value niche or speciality goods. Both buyer and seller principals agree to commission terms in writing before AJG begins working the mandate.
